Yesterday was the first Makers and Growers Market and it was amazing.\u00a0 Everything went so well, all the work we did to get ready and make connections completely paid off.\u00a0 The weather was nearly perfect – the sun was out most of the time… there were a few crazy wind gusts that caused the tents to leave the ground for a moment, a potting stand to blow over, and some of the metal yard art had a little fall – but no big damage.\u00a0 We started off with a bang when there was a car accident right in front of our property four minutes after we opened… I think everyone was okay, though and it was cleaned up pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

We had 10 booths with tons of awesome products, and we think there were between 200 and 300 shoppers throughout the day.\u00a0 It was so great to see friends and family and to meet so many neighbors and people passing through. Lots of fun stories were shared and connections were made.\u00a0 We even had several people asking to be part of the next market on May 25th.<\/p>\n

I didn’t take a lot of pictures, and the ones I took weren’t great because I was busy chatting and selling and checking in with everyone… and trying to be responsible for my kids and property, too.\u00a0 Here are the ones I took and a few that I copied from others who shared pictures (Thank you, Wayne, and Heidi!)<\/p>\n

This is our booth – we sold the double chair but the single ones are still available!!\u00a0 \u00a0We also have some dryer balls and photo greeting cards.\u00a0 Email us if you’re interested! \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
BriAnn and Melissa had the booth closest to the road\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Christopher’s “Glassholes” were very popular!\u00a0 And Amy is there with her beautiful smiling face (and lots of beautiful wood decor!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kris and Wayne’s booth is just past and behind Carson<\/p>\n

Our kids had a great time passing out cookies and lemonade, and giving farm tours, and they had lots of help from other kids passing through with their parents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Very cute and sweet kids at the beginning of the day!\u00a0 So fun to see Ella Jo! \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
When the cookies were gone, and Shaleigh was ready to go play with the kids, she thought it would be good to let everyone know that the kids’ booth was closed (or closd)… \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here are the things that we got to keep at the end of the market! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
